Hi,
I'm subtitling a chapter of SpongeBob and I've got this context:
SpongeBob (to Gary): So, let's get this straight, Gary. You don't want me to defeat the Dirty Bubble. You know, Dirty Bubble --terror of the seven seas, arch nemesis of my favorite TV superheroes, Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, and aaparently renowned paddleball champion. (Dirty Bublle on the box laughs) Well, I for one, recognize the importance of this undertaking. But ehther or not you do remains to be seen. Now, if you don't mind, I would like to get back to it. (Gary slithers off) Pets - sometimes I wonder if they understand a word you're saying.

: De acuerdo. No obstante yo le daría un giro aunque es solo cuestión de estilo. "Pero está por verse si tú te has dado cuenta de la importancia".
